What Debt Collector Harassment Looks Like

Debt collectors are legally allowed to contact you about a valid debt. However, they must follow strict guidelines. Sadly, many do not. Instead, they may use intimidation or misinformation to pressure you into paying.

Common Illegal Collection Practices Include:

  • Calling before 8 AM or after 9 PM without consent

  • Contacting your workplace after you’ve asked them not to

  • Threatening lawsuits or arrest without legal action

  • Using abusive or threatening language

  • Repeatedly calling you to cause stress

  • Refusing to validate the debt in writing

  • Making threats about your job, property, or reputation

➡️ If any of these apply to your situation, take action now. Call 877-782-7839 and let us help you stop the harassment.

Step-by-Step: How to Stop Harassing Debt Collectors

You have rights under the law. Therefore, taking the correct steps not only protects your peace of mind but also strengthens your credit protection strategy.

Step 1: Request Debt Validation in Writing

Under the FDCPA, collectors must provide written proof of the debt within five days of their first contact. If they don’t, they’re breaking the law.

What You Should Do:

  • Send a Debt Validation Letter (we can prepare this for you).

  • Dispute any incorrect details before making any payments.

  • Keep a record of all communication for legal protection.

Step 2: Tell Them to Stop Contacting You

If you want the calls to stop, you have that right. According to 15 U.S. Code § 1692c, debt collectors must stop contacting you once you formally request it.

How to Proceed:

  • Send a Cease-and-Desist Letter via certified mail.

  • Include a request to only contact you by mail if necessary.

  • Keep copies of everything for your records.

✅ Once they receive your request, they may only contact you once more to confirm they’ll stop or inform you of legal steps. No more daily calls.

Step 3: Report Violations and Take Legal Action

When debt collectors violate the law, you’re allowed to report them and, if necessary, sue them. In fact, you could receive up to $1,000 per violation.

Where to File a Complaint:

  • Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)consumerfinance.gov

  • Federal Trade Commission (FTC)ftc.gov

  • Your State Attorney General’s Office

  • Private FDCPA Lawsuit – Credit1Solutions can help connect you with an experienced attorney
